Dive-site story
Fed by warm geothermal artesian springs with ocean-like salinity, this Great Salt Lake desert facility operates year-round. Divers navigate submerged platforms, swim-throughs, and a sunken trench alongside rescued ocean fish inhabiting the mineral-rich waters. The high elevation requires strict adherence to altitude diving protocols.
